Chapter+12+-+Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry describes the quantitative relationships among masses and volumes. The word stoichiometry is a combination of two Greek words which, when used together, mean "to measure the elements." Reading chapter 12 in your textbook will provide more background information about stoichiometry, along with provide you with problem-solving strategies and example problems. If you can answer the review questions and correctly work the practice problems on the Chapter 12 Reading Assignments after studying each section, then you have a good understanding of the material.

The three types of problems you are asked to solve are mole-mole, mole-mass, and mass-mass. As each type of problem is studied in class, you will be asked to complete the stoichiometry practice problems provided. You can begin by viewing the Stoichiometry PowerPoint which gives an explanation of the different types of problems and shows a step-by-step procedure for solving them. I have prepared several practice sheets for you to work on and help you better understand the calculations. Need help with unit conversions? Watch Mr. Guch work through some examples. Once you understand unit conversions, take a minute to review stoichiometry. Mr. Guch provides a great explanation in the Stoichiometry Explained video.
